As someone who collects minerals it's very sad to see that beautiful sulfur specimen getting destroyed. Good video though, I have some 90% gardening sulfur and now I know how to purify it
Yeah I felt bad from destroying it, but that what I got it for.
Is there a book where I can learn more about how such important elements were first used and understood by ancient people?
I would recommend just going with Wikipedia and going from there I have a few books but they are over a hundred years old and are no longer in print.
I would guess that you are correct about grain size. It is probably a combination of that and the fact that black powder needs to be formed by components that are super-fine powders like very fine flour. You have to combine the very fine powders so that they function together as intended and then form the combination into larger homogenous grains for the efficient movement of gases. While obtaining and knowing the ratios of the ingredients is simple, this manner of mechanical combination and preparation seems to be the actually technically challenging part of making functional black powder. I've seen people run it as a wet paste over a screen and then let it dry. There is also a more complex and dangerous process called corning which presses the wet paste into precise forms.
I also have no idea what difference if any is made by using a different nitrate. I would try it again with the traditional recipe.
Your xylene magically became "toluene" later in the video 😂
Whoops, thought I fixed the time I said that, what’s the time stamp?

Beautiful crystals, and we love the element series!
I plan to continue it for a while, and plan on some exciting projects. As always if you ever want help with anything let me know.
Can toluene extract sulfur from bog iron? Leaving behind i guess iron oxides?
The proportion’s looked off to me. I would try a ratio of 65% oxidizer, 25% charcoal and 10% Sulphur. Nice video though! 👍
You should do the video on how to extract sulfur from the rocks like Galena or pyrite
Your motor and pestle was dirty. You could tell as soon as you crushed the oxidizer.
It should look like a powder, not a paste.
Ever considered doing a video on the alkali metal potassium? It's the element whose natural radioactivity got me fascinated with radioactivity! ☢☢
Really cinnabar? Nice, that's a 2 for 1 (ish)
Is it a Y form or the upsilon form...
Upsilon I have no idea why I said “Y”.
@@WheelerScientific bad day?
Probably just my bad hand writing when I made notes for the video.
@@WheelerScientific its all good!
May I ask? How to purify mercury?

Iron di-sulphide
From the little bit of pyro chemistry I've done, I know that a lot of commercial grade sulfur has a somewhat high acid content. This can be bad for more sensitive compositions. I'm guessing that some extraction methods introduce more acidity than others. Could some of the acidity come from the sulfur reacting with the air around it too? How would you go about determining the acid content and purity of the sulfur you obtained without spectrometers and such? Likewise, how would you reduce the acid content and further purify it of other contaminants? Sorry. I have so many questions...
Yes the acid content is due to reaction of sulfur with moisture in air and it's bad for some oxydizers like sodium chlorate, some articles advice to add a little bit of sodium carbonate
Recrystalize from hot xylene
🙏🙏
Apa rumus xilena yang di maksud
Can reuse for used xylene??
